How are a v-8 engine and a 4cylinder engine different?
The V8 engine is in the shape of a V and has 8 cylinders. The 4-cylinder engine is inline and only has 4 cylinders.
Why is gas blowing out of the muffler on your cub cadet?
Normally this only happens on twin cylinder engines when one of the cylinders is not firing.
Which cylinders of a straight 6 cylinder engine belong to bank 1?
They all do. You only have one bank with a straight six engine.
Why is the 72 Irononhead kick only firing on 1 cylinder you put different plugs in it and it is still only fires in the rear cylinder what should you try?
check your coil make it is firing both cylinders alternate plug wires to see if opposite cyl is firing if so is a safe bet that coil is the problem
What is the meaning of a 3 cylinder car engine?
There are cars that have engines with only ( 3 ) engine cylinders such as : The Chevrolet Metro with the 1.0 liter , 61 cubic inch , 3 cylinder engine ( 1999 )
Why have eight cylinders in an engine?
Staying with the same size, you can only get a certain amount of power out of each cylinder. if you want more power you either have to make the cylinder bigger, or get more cylinders. Since a bigger cylinder will deliver its power very jerkily, more cylinders are a better option.
What does ECO sign mean on a Honda Pilot?
The ECO light on a Honda Pilot informs you when the VCM (Variable Cylinder Managment) has deactivated cylinders. For example, if you ease of the accelerator the engine runs on only 3 of the 6 cylinders.

How do you count the cylinders on 1999 Camry?
If you open the hood and can see only 3 spark plug wires: you have 6 cylinder engine. Otherwise you have 4 cylinder engine (you can see only 4 spark plug wires).
Why there is need of firing order?
If all cylinders fired at once, power distribution would be very jerky, so the engine is set up to have the cylinders firing in sequence for a smoother power delivery instead. And if the pistons move in a certain rhythm, then they have to receive their sparks in a certain rhythm too, as the engine will only run well if the cylinders fire when the piston is in a certain position.
What is the firing order for a 1992 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.3L?
Firing Order of six cylinder, four cylinder, and other kinds of engines: ----------------- The firing order for four cylinder engines where the cylinders are in-line is 1243 or 1342. Those are the only two possibilities I've ever found for inline four cylinder engines. In practice, it's almost always 1342, except for Ford engines which are 1243. For inline six cylinder engines, it's typical to have a firing order of 153624. Other combinations are possible. But if you get stuck, you can eliminate various combinations that it can't be. For example, with the basic four cylinder, the order has to be of the form inner cylinder, outer cylinder. That's why it can't be 1234. At some point cylinder 1 will fire, and the next one must be either 2 or 3, since it can't be 4. If the next one is 2, the one after that is 4, leaving 3 as the last. The only other order being 1 and then 3, meaning that it would then have to be 1,3,4,2. So, only two possibilities; 1243 and 1342. This is good logic, but remember that it only really applies to basic inline engines typical of the type where the crankshaft is only supported at the ends. With six cylinder engines it's a bit more complex, but 123456 is out, except for some V6 engines. In fact anything with 34 or 43 in it is out, as both middle cylinders would fire sequentially. See, engine firing order has to be arranged so it is as smooth as possible, spreading out the load. The business of load-spreading is not as simple as that, however, as there are resonance and other dynamic factors which have to be considered. Also, if the crankshaft as several bearings along its length, this improves the stress handling and makes the firing order less important relatively. A special note: "in-line" means the cylinders are all in a row. For other configurations of cylinders, for example a flat four, boxer, or V type engine, the rules are different! I am reliably informed that Porsche/VW flat 4 engines have a firing order of 1432. This can still make sense, because the engine is arranged as two pairs of opposing cylinders, so the criteria for engine load balancing are quite different. As with many things, this whole situation becomes much more complex when the field is expanded to include a wider variety of different engine configurations. V6, V8, flat 6, flat 12, delta, boxer, V at 180 degrees. In addition to the extra complexity of higher numbers of cylinders, there's also the fact that larger engine configurations have a variety of different cylinder numbering systems too! Right, so to sum it up so far: four cylinder inline engines are always 1342 or 1243. If it's Ford then it's assumed to be 1243 and if not then 1342. Flat four engines are different. Six cylinder engines have been found to sometimes be 153624, but there are other possibilities which are valid. Good sense prevailing, you can eliminate some of the possibilities. I hope some of this helps! More ODD firing order possibilities: Well what about the firing order for a three cylinder engine? It has to be 123 or 132. Those are the only possibilities. Two cylinder engines? There would only by one possibility, as the cylinders would have to fire alternately. Incidentally, a firing order MUST include all the cylinders exactly once. And, it's reasonable to number the engine cylinders from 1 to n, however many cylinders there may be, and as no cylinder may be missed out, it is usual to include cylinder 1 first. If you know of any specific exceptions to the "1 first" convention I'd be interested to know. So why not 1234 on a basic engine? Quite simply that would not be a good firing order. If you were designing an engine, there would be better choices you could make. How about five cylinder firing order? It would have to be something like 14253 or 13524. The more cylinders, the more possibilities. Plus, with different cylinder arrangements and cylinder numbering systems, a greater range of possibilities exist. If you're looking at this page trying to work out what order to put the spark plug leads back on to your engine or some similar technical problem, here are a few extra items which might help: * Engine cylinders are usually numbered from front to rear. That's "front of the engine" rather than "front of the vehicle". * On engines which have an electric spark plug ignition system with a distributor cap, you can sometimes see cylinder numbers mentioned inside/on the distributor cap. * Technical workshop manuals for the specific engine are the best source of information for finding the firing order. Also, little booklets called "driver's handbook" sometimes give the engine firing order and other data specifications. Suljer Virginia Beach, VA
How many cylinders does the Mitsubishi Galant come in?
The Mitsubishi Galant is only available ina four cylinder engine. There is no option to upgrade to a higher end model with six cylinders.
How many cylinders does the engine of the Renault Clio have?
The Renault Clio with the 1.2 liter engine has a total of four cylinders. A four cylinder engine is utilized to maximize not only fuel efficiency, but moderate power while minimizing fuel economy loss.
